109.93 lbs

since the quantities vary directly, then

w(moon) = kw(earth ) ← ( k is the constant of variation )

to find k use the given condition

k = w( moon ) / w( earth ) = \frac{25.66}{150.94}

given w(earth) = 218.24

w(moon) = \frac{25.66(218.24)}{150.94} = 109.93

A company buys pens at the rate of $7.50 per box for the first 10 boxes, $5.50 per box for the next 10 boxes, and $4.50 per box
photoshop1234 [79]

So it is really easy to solve firstly we can see how much does the first 10 boxes make which makes around 75$ obviously. Secondly 55$ for the next 10 boxes.

So for now we can simply calculate that we have spent around 130$ which means 20 boxes. The remaining money left is 18$ so we can buy 18/4.5 = 4 only 4 boxes with that money. Hence a total of 24 boxes.

Six more than five times a number is at least twenty-one
kakasveta [241]
Lets say the number is x so we can make an equation
If is at least 21, that means it has to be greater then or equal to it.
6+5*x>=21
You can subtract 6 from both sides
5*x>=15
Then divide both sides by 5
x>=3
You can conclude that the number is greater then or equal to 3.
